Chromeos flex could be worth looking at, and depending on the build of their old machine, they may not need to buy a new computer at all. CPU, RAM, and SSD upgrades could help if it's 15+ years old though.
I recently did this to my family's old 20" 2007 iMac and it's perfectly adequate for light web browsing, email, and youtube. Not too shabby for a 17 year old computer.
The best part is that it's secure and easy to use for those less tech literate.
Yeah, that’s for me. And also, FYI you can unlock chromeOS with a Bluetooth device (e.g. a smartwatch, if they have one), so it’s easier to unblock. I haven’t found any decent alternative to entering a complicated Google account password.
